An hour since the creature left.
"Did that monster really leave?"
"Y...Yeah, it seems like so." Replied Jacob, as he stands at the entrance of the door, surveying the area.
"Papa, why did you scare the monster away." Bella said as she made a frown whilst looking at her dad.
Jacob ignored her and glanced at his wife. "Have you seen anything like it? I mean. I never seen any creature that looked like that or even has like intelligence as a human." He stared at the front door with the door slightly shut, but his eyes peering through the gap.
Jemma cocked her head and scratched the top of her head where the grey hair was sprouting out. She came up with some ideas of what the monster may be but with the legs, she saw on that monster she didn't come up with anything. But with one idea that would make the most sense. "Maybe it's a Demon, but with those legs, I'm not so sure. But only one race has those red glowing eyes."
Jacob turned around in shock as his mouth slightly widened.
"A Demon?" Jacob has never seen a Demon in his lifetime but everyone has heard of the Demon who once ruled the Ozbark, even the children have heard of the Demon at a young age. 'True, our ancestors in their lifetime never seen any other race but the Demon who have been born with red eyes, and legend has it that, if you encounter a Demon with red beading glowing eyes, then your doom soon shall fall.' Jacob took a seat where the creature was sitting before, his hands supporting his chin as he hunched his back and thought for a good 2 minutes before coming up with what the creature truly was.
He stood up as the chair dragged across the floor making a screeching sound, he slowly opened his mouth. "With the glowing red eyes, and the intense aura that creature could easily emit." He hesitated for a moment as he felt a cold wind brush across his face. "A Demon entered our house. And by God grace, we survived." He said as he looked at Jemma and Bella and put his hands together in front of his head as he slightly bowed his head and started praising God in his thoughts.
Jemma did the same as her heart skip a beat when her husband said the Demon entered their house and she started to praise the Lord.
Bella cocked her head in confusion as she didn't know what her parents were doing, in the midst of silence. She went outside and coved her eyes as the sun shone brightly at her pale skin. She looked right and left to see if she could still see the Demon as she heard by her parents but no luck, she could only see the trees dancing in the wind and the calm river flowing beautifully.

"I just hope I'm heading in the right direction. Otherwise, it be a pain in the ass to walk all the way back." Sirus continued his journey to return to his village and with hope in his heart, he had hope that his parent's at the least would be alive waiting for him at home, every night his mother would brush his long silky white hair and sing until he fell asleep. And his dad was a cheerful man, he wasn't home often and the time he was he would often hang out with his friends. And the time he did stay at home was the best thing ever for Sirus. Laughter and joy were all you could hear and imagine, it was the perfect home for any child.
He smiled happily at the thought as he slowly started to remember the good times.
10 minutes pass by and Sirus's stomach started rumbling.
"I swear even in this world I get hungry too fast. Now that I think about it. What the hell I'm I suppose to eat? There's nothing but trees and the river I'm walking beside on." Sirus stopped in his tracks and bent down, he calmed his breathing and placed his hand on the dirt and tried listing for any animal sounds.
2 minutes pass by and Sirus was left disappointed and dumbfounded.
"What the absolute fuck I'm I doing? I'm not Steve Irwin, fucking hell. And man I look like shit, and my hair man jeez, it's all covered in dirt and shit." Sirus puts a strain of hair in front of his nose and sniffs. "It smells like a swamp, I think I'm going to puke, why did I put it so close to my nose, Demon have enhanced hearing and smell, God I'm so dumb."
Sirus face planted his face and shook his head in disappointment. He thought of washing his hair in the river but without a brush, it would look worse, though the smell would go away likely. He looked at his hands for a moment and immediately discarded the idea.
"I'm screwed, I can survive for about a week If I remember, though I'm not sure if Demons can survive longer or lesser, it wouldn't be the first time I had to go for a day or 2 without food, this will be a piece of cake… Well, it would If my body wasn't a child body. Whatever I will just continue walking and hope I find fruits or some kind of animal in this part of the forest or woods."
He continued walking for 2 hours straight without taking a rest, and the sun was already starting to set down.
"Shit, I'm getting dizzy." His eyes wavered and he started to lost his balance, he tripped but managed to hold onto a tree. He tried to shake off the dizziness but it just made it worse. He felt as if he was going to puke.
"I...I need water, this will help me." He said with a low dry voice.
He turned to the river to his right and even when he was dizzy he was being careful where he placed his foot to not trip in the water and potentially get a cold. He squatted down and put both of his hands together and got a handful of water from the cold river. He was slightly surprised that the water didn't taste disgusting, he felt as if he was drinking tap water. But he ignored the thought and continued drinking, he drank 5 hands full of water before he moved his hair to one side and held it there and used his other hand to splash water on his face, he did this 3 times and walked back up the slope and continued walking.
"Ahhhh… That was refreshing I feel better. No wonder I was so dizzy, I didn't wash my face or drank any water. All I had was eggs and bread. I got distracted at the house and for some reason didn't think of washing my face." He paused for a moment to inhale the air, he took a deep breath and exhaled it out, he felt relaxed as the air washed through his body and into his frail lungs. He continued walking again but he stopped as he heard a russle in a bush to his 8 o clock. As soon he heard this sound all his mind said was. 'Food.' He glanced at the bush and tried to see what was moving, but he didn't see a thing in the dense bush. He took one step and stepped on a twig.
[Crack]
"Shit!" He cursed and heard the russle get louder then faded away. He didn't let this chance get away and bolted towards the dense bush and jumped over it with ease with his hind like legs. He saw a 4 legged animal quite small running at a fast pace, but Sirus's hind legs easily started catching up with it. The creature jumped over a small bush, Sirus smirked and jump over. His eyes widened for a split second. He turned his body sharply to the left and his foot dug in the dirt and used his feet like an anchor, a trail of dirt and mud dug up behind.
There stood before him were 3 tall deer-like creature's, the little creature that Sirus was chasing hid behind the other 3. 4 tall bulging out hind legs. With a thick body and a tall neck, a deer-like snout, but with bull-like horns coming out of the side of the creature head. The body was black and brown in colour and its eyes were the usual kind of eyes that you would see on dogs cats and deers. The 3 creatures were staring straight at the intruder who was hunting its young one with furious eyes.
"What the fuck are these? Some hybrid between a deer and a bull? Is that even possible?"
Sirus remembered something from when he was in school 'Shit, if I'm correct, then I been walking across the amidst of monster territory. If I wasn't then I wouldn't be seeing creatures looking like these. Plus what makes them more dangerous, is that they have fighting experience and intelligence
Sirus didn't move an inch of his body as his left knee dropped to the floor and his right fist into the dirt as he lifted his head, seeing the 3 creatures towering over him.
The middle creature started to paw the ground as dirt flicks up behind, a moment later all 3 started to do the same motion.
'Shit, they're about to charge at me.' Well, a couple of bull deer hybrid shit, I can handle no problem, this isn't the first time I have fought a couple of big guys, I still know my brutal martial arts.'
He stood up slowly with a wide cold grin and chuckled.
"If you want a fight. I can give you a good time."
